W. Gates under oath- laid, bare, before
!he!$tan)iy .steel ..trust . investigating
committee last Saturday these start
ling lacts concerning the steel trust and
the steel industry of die United States.
The steel trust was born st an all night
meeting at the home o"f J. P. Morgan
in New York and bad its inspiration in
threats by Andrew Carnegie to go into
railroad .construction and steel tube
manufacturing.
Carnegie had been a demoralizing in
fluence in the steel industry, and it was
feared he would be. troublesome in the
railroad business.
Carnegie was paid $320,000,000 in
bonds for. his controlling interest in the
Carnegie Steel Company, for which he
had given an option one year before for
$160,000,000. Incidentally, he pocketed
the $1,000,000 option forfeit.
Gates, controlling stockholder in the
Republic Coal and Iron Company, told
the committee that he favors an open
market,' with competition and the sur
vival of the fittest.
J. P. Morgan will be summoned as a
witness in the investigation. Gates'
revelations makes this necessary. There
can be no escspe for him, and the inves
tigation will be continued, if necessary,
through a year, in order to get the big
financier's testimony.
